Black August✊🏾

 Show me the race or the nation without a flag, and I will show you a race of people without any pride. Aye! In song and mimicry they have said, "Every race has a flag but the coon." How true! Aye! But that was said of us four years ago. They can't say it now~Baba Marcus Garvey Jr. https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2017/06/14/532667081/on-flag-day-remembering-the-red-black-and-green



Today for our Black August tribute we are celebrating the birth of our flag The Red,Black,and Green(August 13,1920)! https://youtu.be/gw_seLy4v3g

I think every single home should have our flag and know the pledge. As part of our curriculum Masai has been doing the pledge every morning for the last 2yrs! 


This Flag of Mine


Regardless of what is told of it,

Here's to this flag of mine

The Red, Black and Green

Hopes in its future bright

Africa has seen.

Here's to the Red of it,

Great nations shall know of it

In time to come.

Red blood shall flow of it,

Historians shall write of it,

Great flag of mine.

Here's to the Black of it

Four hundred millions back of it,

Whose destiny depends on it

The RED, BLACK and GREEN of it,

Oh, Flag of Mine.

Here's to the Green of it

Young men shall dream of it,

Face shot and shells of it

Waving so high.

Here's to the whole of it

Colors grought and pole of it

Pleased is my soul with it

Regardless of what is told of it,

Thanks God for giving it

Great Flag of Mine.
